When reading model data from a SAMCEF results file, the following table defines all the data which will be created in the MSC Patran database, and where it is derived from in the results file. No other model data is extracted from the results file. This data are, in most of the cases, sufficient for evaluating any results values.

Thanks to its direct coupling with the Samcef Results Codes Dictionary, the Samcef Preference is able to import quite almost all of the results Samcef modules (the ones available in the preference) are able to generate. The table below shows the most common results codes generated by Samcef.

Important:	Reading model data from a SAMCEF results file into a empty Patran database is not at all a valid way to import a Samcef model into Patran!!!

Note:	The selection of most of the codes described hereafter (but not all) can be driven in the Analysis/Output Requests panel. Depending on the chosen analysis module, some of the codes of the table below may be not present in the results file. The table below does not show ALL the possible codes available in the results file after an analysis.

The following tables described most of the available results after a Structural analysis.
